TE/TC Bens 2017 TE 300

It's arrived

soooo very perfect.

CONGRATS! Nice looking bike man

Nice ride!

Miss August! At my age this vixen would be an awesome pin up..........

Congrats on the new scooter!!

Race prep. Nut and bolt check. Locktite and grease.

100% proper.

Looks mint mate tho I'm not 100% sold on the Handguards n front fender. Look a little old school.

Yeah I hear what your saying. Cycra guards will be going on soon.
Don't mind the front fender as quite like that old school touch. I don't like the headlight though, that is ugly! May grow to like it in time lol

I think once you pin your number/graphic to the headlight mask it will dress it up and you will like it more. the bike is epic.

Robert could be right. I deeply considered getting rid of it on my 15 300 but after time it grew on me especially with some background and numbers. I personally think the 17 headlight is better than the 15 but to each their own.

Hey Ben, can you post or PM me the factory recommended spring rates from the user manual for rider weight (usually they list 3 with the stock set up included) I want to build an extended chart, like I did for my 2014 TE300.....so I can review/understand options for my outside the "norm" tank arse poundage.... I'm so darn into this machine, I already want to do some calculations even though I might not get one, yet.

Just pm'd you Rob.

thanks

soooo jealous ! good luck with it.

interesting how light the shock springs are, certainly means lots of changes to linkage rates and chassis dimensional arrangement.
the forks seem very standard in the across the board rates among the other manufacturers, nothing out of the ordinary.
OEM calls out deep race sag of 110mm but very standard static of 35mm. thanks again for posting, remember the OEM does mega testing to mathematically get the chassis balance dialed in, work to match the balance they call out. and most of all have fun!!!

extrapolated OEM spring rate chart. added 1 at the low heft side (not me) and 2 at the tank arse side (me and others)
